edical marijuana makes legal sense; it has the potential to, make' legal cents for future Colorado budgets,

In the 1988 Colorado General Assembly, Chris Paulson (then-majority leader) introduced House H,i1]. 1167 to impose a stamp tax on marijuana. The concept came from a book of suggested legis tion fOT conserva .. tives and. tile law" had 'been adopted in several states, By 19'9,4 similar laws 'were adopted in almost thirty states. The Colorado version took effect in. 1'98,'9 and the tax was $,:1 00 per ounce ofmarijuana,
